Once bullying occurs, there is a knowledge gap on what to do next. Individuals and organizations must become knowledgeable about the laws, policies, and regulations regarding bullying-related incidents. Questions to ask are what the state and local laws regarding harassment, extortion, hate crimes, bullying, assault, stalking, or cyberbullying are, so that protective action is possible. If the bullying event is determined to be criminal, then the individual or organization must seek legal counsel and act as advised. Also, protecting the victim or victims is critical at all times to prevent further harm or harassment.
